Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams: Week Four Game Preview

"Everybody forgets we were 2-2 past year at this time", Zimmer said. Kirk is a guy we watched on film forever previous year. I know it's still early, but the Chiefs are real this year. "I really, realistically think that I've got to do a better job".

Any lingering questions about Jared Goff's ability to be the next standout quarterback in a horned helmet are withering while he destroys defenses this season.

The Vikings, meanwhile, are 1-1-1. "I'm not going to take anything away from their scheme".

After Rams kicker Sam Ficken missed a 28-yard field goal that would have given the Rams a 13-point lead with 8:21 to play, Vikings kicker Dan Bailey made a 40-yarder with 3:50 remaining to cut the lead to 38-31.

"I think it's just having another year to master this thing", Kupp, who finished the day with nine receptions for 162 yards and two touchdowns, told the NFL Network postgame.

Asked if he is concerned about possibly falling into a hole it will be hard to get out of, Zimmer said, "We are going to play a lot of really good teams here coming up". I've not ever had a team that's been this poor in pass coverage. That's our motto. We try to go out there and attack and we got a great offensive line.

Both offences came out firing in front of a lively Coliseum crowd that included a healthy throng of purple-clad fans enjoying the Vikings' first game in Los Angeles since 1993. Over the past three games, they've given up an average of 24 points in first halves.

"Jared put it in about a six-inch box that only he could fit it into, " McVay said. In the first half of this game alone, Goff had three touchdowns of more than 20 air yards.

Republicans and Democrats are fighting back and forth in the Senate over the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. Opposition among Americans to Kavanaugh has increased since last week's hearing, Reuters/Ipsos polling data showed on Wednesday.

Minnesota's secondary lost cornerback Trae Waynes for the second half with a concussion.

The Rams scored touchdowns on three of their first four second-quarter possessions.

Following a bad performance last weekend, Kirk Cousins came out on the opening drive to march the Vikings down the field with a 14-play drive that lasted just over seven minutes and resulted in a 16-yard touchdown to Aldrick Robinson to give Minnesota an early 7-0 lead.

Minnesota defensive end Everson Griffen posted a message on Instagram expressing his gratitude for support from his team and family. "There's a lot of play-actions where they're blocking eight or nine guys, and it makes it hard to get to him".

"When I met (wide receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs) in April, we threw on the field and I said, 'These guys can play, ' " Cousins said. The bad news is that next game is against the Super Bowl champion Eagles, who were last seen by the Vikings in that 38-7 blowout in the NFC championship game.
